Synopsis: Total opposites. Totally irresistible.
Mickey Chambers is an expert at analyzing modern literature. But when it comes to figuring out her own story, she’s feeling a little lost. At thirty-three, she’s an adjunct instructor with a meager summer class schedule and too many medical bills, courtesy of her chronic illness. Picking up a bartending gig seems perfect. Sure, Mickey’s never done this before, but the gorgeous, grumpy bar owner, Diego Acosta, might be the perfect man to teach the teacher…if he wasn’t so stressed.
Diego is worried he’s running his late wife’s bar into the ground. Add the pressures of returning to college part-time at forty-two, and it’s no wonder he’s making rash decisions. Like hiring the sunny, sexy woman who looks more at home in a library than slinging beers to rowdy barflies, and who turns out to be teaching his online writing course, a complication neither was expecting…
It’s not long before Mickey starts reenergizing The Saloon with cocktails, karaoke and an optimism even Diego can’t ignore. They need to fight their feelings if they want to keep things professional, but all it takes is one sip, one kiss, to shake both their worlds forever… (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: l love an opposites attract romance, so it should be no surprise that I enjoyed this. This book was a lot of fun. I definitely enjoyed the bar setting, seeing Mickey learn to work in a bar and deal with the patrons.
I liked that Mickey is a teacher, and it's fun that Diego becomes one of her students.
I also liked that these characters we more adult age, not young adult, but in their 30's and 40's, that was refreshing.
I really liked this story. I loved the grumpy sunshine vibes. I just had a lot of fun reading it. I think a lot of people would enjoy this one.
Charish Reid is a fan of sexy books and disaster films. When she's not grading papers or prepping lessons for college freshmen, she enjoys writing romances that celebrate quirky black women who deserve HEAs. Charish currently lives in Sweden, with her husband, avoiding most forms of exercise.
